...campaign wore on, Bush grew increasingly convinced that his strongest asset was his personality. But Bush also learned during his run that even with Texas-size charm offensives, "things don't always move the way you want," as one top aide puts it. "He won't waste a lot of energy trying to move mountains that won't move." His parents, who gave him everything and who have seen his limits up close, are impressed too by his growing political sobriety. "He did a great job of staying on message," the former President told TIME last week. As usual, Barbara...
Card worked last week putting the finishing touches on a team of West Wing veterans from the last time around, junior advisers who have all spent eight years in the private sector, made some money, and are ready to move up a couple of notches. Josh Bolten, who toiled in the Trade Representative's office for Dad, is in line to be the domestic policy chief.

Every few months, they would call a cleaning service and move into a hotel while the house was brought back to some level of normal sanitation. This was during the Cravath years (if only they'd known!), when Boies was making his reputation and law was his life...
...Last July the New York Times Book Review revised its best-seller list by splitting off a separate category for children's books. The move came just in time to prevent Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire from zooming to the top of the fiction list--and joining the three earlier Harry Potter titles firmly ensconced among the 15 slots. By shunting the wizard books out of its main chart, the Book Review fiddled with logic but appeased publishers and authors who believed they had been "Pottered"--denied best-selling status by the J.K. Rowling juggernaut...
